One of the biggest indicators of VALUE when people sell their homes...

It's the school district!

Homes in sought-after school districts are \*always\* in demand.

It makes sense why:

1) School quality and reputation

Great schools attract families with school-aged children. 42% of buyers ages 31-41 — those most likely to have young children — are influenced by school district quality.

2) Property values

Homes in high-performing suburban school districts are valued 49% higher than the national average.

3) Demand and market dynamics

Areas and neighborhoods in desirable schools experience higher demand, multiple offers and quicker sales — 8 days quicker on average.

4) Appraisal value

Appraisers consider nearby schools when assessing property value. A positive school reputation can support higher appraisals and market value.

5) Neighborhood stability

School quality adds to neighborhood stability, drawing long-term homeowners willing and ready to invest in the community.

Questions? Let's connect - I’d love to show you what your home is worth.

Today I closed three properties and here is just an example of the drastic different experiences one might have in a transaction.....

- Closing #1 - I knew from working with this seller agent everyone was going to be in great hands from the get go. Sellers moved out and I got lots of invoices and receipts for professional cleaning, even though it wasn't a requirement in the contract. The sellers and agents wanted to make sure that my clients received this property in amazing shape. They delivered more than expected and besides having to pick up a dead chipmunk the house was dialed. We both worked together to have a smooth deal, get through all inspections, negotiations, and to the closing table smoothly. Keys were packaged nicely and delivered at closing.

- Closing #2 - Represented the sellers. My clients had moved out of this property six months prior, and had renters in it. We went to the market and made sure to accomodate the tenants schedules, the tenants were great, they moved out, we rallied the troops to make sure the house was perfect for the new buyers. We made sure the house was clean and ready for the new owners, the buyer agent was happy as could be, keys were in everyones hands, and closing was smooth sailing.

- Closing #3- I hadn't worked with this listing agent before. I had heard stories though. I wrote in the contract as in depth as possible to ensure no items were missed to my ability. I could go into details about what happened DURING the transaction but I just won't.
Well, anyways, we weren't allowed a walk through until yesterday evening, which the home was still being occupied , it was apparent the contractural obligations were not being met, I had to notify title and everyone that there was issues on the condition of the home.
The seller agent assured me the home was going to be re-cleaned and the windows professionally cleaned and provide receipt. We close at 10 am ... this morning... at 9:50 am we receive "proof" the windows had been professionally cleaned for $150 dollars, on a paper invoice (no jokes).
I just knew at the closing table that the windows guaranteed weren't going to be clean. We also never got the keys until 3 pm, in which when I showed up ... it was apparent they needed help so I offered to help the seller load items, no seller agent to be seen.
Seller directly gave me the keys, and I had to remove the one from the listing agent lock box with permission from buyer. and guess what... WINDOWS still filthy!
As a buyer agent I assured my client at the closing table that there was a good chance this home wasn't going to be perfect, the buyer had to sign anyways because a u-haul was already ready to be unloaded, I will be compensating the buyer to have the home professionally cleaned including the windows to make things right as well as putting forth a home warranty to make sure they are covered for a year.

My worse FEAR would have been if the buyer did not have proper representation and have someone advocating for them in the corner, for a multitude of reasons in the contract I will not state on social media. This would have been a nightmare if they would have gone directly to this seller agent.

Also said agent is a real estate "coach" selling ads on how to use AI to generate seller leads. HAHAH!

WHO YOU WORK WITH MATTERS! It matters on sellers and marketing , it also matters for buyers just as much. Please please make sure you are professionally represented out there folks.

Much love ❤️

If anyone is looking to get into home ownership right now at an affordable price for not a complete tear down home, then 305 pine valley is the place to be checking out.
We just did a price drop to $375K and also offering a $5K seller concession to use as pleased. The sellers current mortgage is assumable at a low 5% if someone is interested, but they must qualify.
Check it out -great opportunity for someone

In a world where you can be anything, being part of something bigger than yourself is an incredible privilege.

As a real estate professional, my connection to Durango extends beyond property lines and market trends. It's woven into the very fabric of our community and the people and organizations working to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone who calls our city home.

With that in mind, I want to shine a light on a few local nonprofits that hold a special place in my heart➡➡

Is this really true?!

YES.

Get this - there is a provision in the CARES Act that allows first-time buyers to get a $10,000 boost.

Here's how it works.
First-time home buyers can withdraw up to $10,000 from their 401k WITHOUT the 10% penalty when buying a home.
This can help cover expenses like down payments and closing costs, bringing homeownership within reach.

An interesting option but of course, consult with a financial advisor and a trusted lender to determine what’s best for your scenario.

This year has been wild, we have done so much, and grown so much, and to say that this last year has been "easy" would be so ridiculously far from the truth. I think this year has tested so many people in many directions. I just want to say thank you to everyone who continues to refer, support, and work with me in my business. I absolutely love what I am doing, and I couldn't do it without you. I hope you all have an incredible Thanksgiving. With love and gratitude- Ashley Blackmore

Is your agent marketing your home beyond the MLS?

While many agents might simply list your property on the MLS and hope for the best, I believe in going several steps further.

The MLS is just the starting point.

To maximize your home's exposure and reach potential buyers, you need a multi-faceted marketing strategy. Here's what I offer to ensure your listing doesn't get lost in the crowd.

Targeted Social Media Campaigns

Leveraging platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and even TikTok to create engaging posts that spotlight your home to the right audience based on demographics, interests, and more.

Professional Staging and Photography

Ensuring your home looks its absolute best in both online listings and in-person viewings. High-quality visuals can significantly boost interest and drive more viewings.

Virtual Tours & 3D Floor plans

Offering immersive experiences for potential buyers, especially those who might be relocating and can't initially visit in person.

Networking with Buyer's Agents

Proactively reaching out to agents in the area who have clients looking for homes like yours, ensuring they're aware of your listing and its unique features.

Open Houses & Private Showings

Organizing well-promoted open houses, including flyers and personal invites to neighbors, along with private tours for serious buyers to create a lasting viewing experience.

Email Marketing

Featuring your listing to my targeted list of email subscribers full of past clients, hopeful buyers, and local agents.

Contact me today for a free consultation to learn more about my comprehensive marketing strategy and how I can help you sell your home quickly and for top dollar.

If you listen to the news, there is a lot of miscommunications about the real estate market out there.
I am going to start making it a point on my page to provide a bunch of information related to the data and not the emotion of the real estate market in Durango.
As a born and raised local here it is def. A change from what we have seen growing up up here as far as property costs go.
But after spending a week in Denver its quite clear why.
The lifestyle of living in Durango is one that I don’t take for granted, and as more and more people realize that the cost will continue to go up.
So if you look at the current market trends hyper local to the area you will see, we are holding steady in the market, it’s still a sellers market and we are slowly creeping into a balanced market
Getting your equity into something that will generate growth is important and I still believe real estate is safer than the stock market.

Behind the Agent

I am a born and raised native to Durango, and what an incredible blessing that has been. I graduated from Fort Lewis College with a bachelors in business- management option. Together my family and I opened the True Colorado clothing store downtown, and I quickly realized that real estate was where my heart is. We are a town that is so tightly nit that it’s always a great experience welcoming newcomers not only to our town, but under our wings.

In 2017 I was top 12% in the world globally for Coldwell Banker. However, when the opportunity arised for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices I knew it was time to go. This amazing company stands for all that we are as a brokerage, and provides tools that I have never seen in the market place; given to each agents finger tips. It is also an incredible brand as an entirety.

I’m proud to bring this to the Durango market place, and here to serve you.

My speciality is luxury properties as I am specialized in marketing, but our team in the office is incredible. We fully can do it all.
